"Though no hit with the crix, pic's boffo homevid cumes recall Fight Club, another Pitt starrer for the Frog. New prexy Weiss is also excited about new Wilson brothers laffer..."

A truncated version of the word "competition." Although the term can imply any form of fiercely brutal competitiveness among peers striving for a common goal, competish is most often used to describe the cut-throat process of attaining entrance into graduate schools of architecture.

Fuck. I'm not going to get into grad school. There's just too much competish!
